NBA Interlude: A Farewell to Mike Miller

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why am I in such distress, you ask? Because yesterday, at around 3:00 in the afternoon, I heard a rumor that the Heat were going to release Mike Miller through their amnesty clause. It was a beautiful day in San Diego, but I could see only dark clouds. Are you kidding me?! This is unacceptable! Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem (just picked up his jersey) are my heroes, but Miller is a close third. This article may seem like an irrational reaction, but I mean every word I’m about to say!
Alright, let’s talk about what really matters, Finals performance. Did we already forget when Miller hit those seven three-pointers in the 2012 Finals?? That was a classic performance!
He really gave us a lift in that game, and ultimately, that series. And even this past season, the one-shoe shot he hit in game six! That came at a crucial time for the Heat, and gave them the energy to force overtime and, ultimately, game seven. Mike Miller: Clutch, Accurate, Well- Maintained Hair.
Miller even went back-and-forth visiting his new-born, ailing daughter while playing in the 2011 playoffs, that’s dedication. And hey, in game seven of the Finals against the Spurs, Miller had 0 points in 19 minutes of play. Chris Bosh had 0 points in 28 minutes of play. Has Bosh ever hit seven three-pointers in one game? Don’t think so. If anyone should be amnestied, it’s Bosh before Miller! (I said we’d get a little bit irrational.
Mike Miller. Miller the Killer. Mike Milli Millz. A Gator, A Heat (singular of Heat…?), a Hero. Farewell, my friend.
